NEW CONSTRUCTION
New Construction · Colby Lilley
From homesite to handover, know what comes next.
New construction brings its own sequence of decisions. Compare the lot, written specifications, builder process, and completion expectations—not only the model home.
THE SEARCH BRIEF
Start with the right questions.
Compare new homes around the lot, floor plan, written specifications, and completion expectations. A model home is a starting point for questions about the exact property.
- PRIORITY 01
Lot & orientation
- PRIORITY 02
Written specifications & allowances
- PRIORITY 03
Milestones, inspections & walkthrough
FROM LOT TO KEYS
The build, in four stages.
A clear paper trail and written specifications help keep decisions grounded as the home takes shape.
01
Choose the homesite
Compare location, orientation, drainage, utilities, and applicable neighborhood documents.
02
Read the specification
Review included features, allowances, options, and the written change process.
03
Track construction
Clarify milestone dates, access rules, independent inspection opportunities, and updates.
04
Prepare for handover
Create a walkthrough list, confirm completion items, and organize warranties and manuals.
